Okay, iwas getting ready to start. (clicked the stat thing) An the i got this thing saying - You must have a timeout ratio lower than 5% to host a tournament at Chess.com. - .... So what does that mean, and how do i get it lower...

The more games you play, the lower the time-out % will be.

Check here. In the Stats box look at the Moves area. You will see that you have 2 timeouts out of the 8 games you have played to date for a 25% timeout ratio.

(2 * 100) / 8 = 25%

Once you reach 40 games played with no more timeout losses you will be at 5%.

(2 * 100) / 40 = 5%

The message indicates lower than 5%. Rounding is usual here so you likely have to get to 45 games played.

(2 * 100) / 45 = 4.44% = 4%

TadDude, Im pretty sure it is 5 or lower, as I was able to join a tournament with 10% timeout ratio.

Unless this does not apply to premium members, as I have also been able to host a new tournament with a ratio of 8%...

If 5% is allowed then Assassin2142 may be able to start a tournament after 37 games played and no more timeout losses.

(2 * 100) / 37 = 5.4% = 5%

Premium members timeout limit for hosting a tournament is 15%.
